Experienced Professionals

Tattoo removal is what we do, all day, every day. It’s our specialty, not a side job. All treatments are done by certified laser technicians under the supervision of Dr. Tolitano.

Tattoo removal feels a lot like a rubber band repeatedly snapping. While not a great feeling, it’s very tolerable. Bare also utilizes an advanced cooling device to numb the skin before, during, and after treatment.

…but don’t take our word for it. Hear what our clients say:

Bare has clearly invested in the best of lasers… I HIGHLY recommend this place if you are looking to get rid of that tattoo you regret.

How Tattoo Removal Works

Our advanced laser is specifically designed to target tattoo ink, causing the pigment to shatter into small pieces that gradually fade over a series of treatments. Treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of treatments you’ll need depends on a variety of factors, including location, density, colors and skin type. Typically our estimates range from as few as 3 to 10 or more.

Most treatments last just a minute or so and feel like a rubber band repeatedly snapping on the skin. While not a great feeling, it’s very tolerable. We also utilizethe Zimmer Chiller that numbs but the skin before, during, and after treatment to minimize any discomfort.

That’s just a quick overview. You can find out more by reading our blog or by contacting us directly. Our team is here to answer any questions and will provide a full overview during a free consultation.
